Should make for a very intresting season espiecially with the new rules and no refuelling!

Excellent. Baron von Schumacher and Rosberg for Team Gerry with Button and Hamilton for team GB.

Let's make it three in a row

No doubt US F1 will turn up half way through the season and claim they made all the difference

He was good but I have to ask if he's still got it, he's what about 44 now, his reactions will have slowed a little especially as he's been out of the game for a couple of years.

he's 41 in january. I think it will be good to see how he gets on against the young guns of f1. He wouldn't be doing it if Ross Brawn wasn't the main man. I reckon he has told schumi that the merc car will be quick.

Given that he had far better reaction times than other formula 1 drivers, you're saying he's probably just good now?

He will be just as quick, Mansell won the Aussie GP at 41 having come out of retirement to drive for Williams & I think Schumi is a wee bit quicker than Mansell
With all the new rules & new teams this should make for the best season in modern F1 that we've ever had!

The engines cant be improved after a certain point in the season (if at all) so i dont think that will be such an issue.
